The Gaithersburg City Council voted unanimously to deny a petition from the city’s Historic District Commission (HDC) Monday evening. The petition would have paved the way to designate 414 East Diamond Avenue a historic property.
After staff recommended the city not move forward with historic designation, the HDC voted differently to send a petition to the council on Feb. 24. The commission concluded the building had a reasonable probability for historic designation under Section 24-226(b) of the city code. Qualifications include the property’s character, heritage or cultural characteristics, as well as identification with a person or group who influenced society.
